Scamman, Joseph R. Cotton, Albert B. Tenney, <br />Hallie C. Blake and Albert H. Burnham, members of the Board <br />present. <br />It having been found that a petition for a recount of votes <br />for Selectman was about to be filed, the Board voted to make <br />the present organization a temporary one. The votes for Select- <br />man for the three year term were as follows: <br />Albert H. Burnham 640 <br />Edward H. Mara 638 <br />It was voted to refrain from doing any business of a per- <br />manent nature until after the recount of votes. <br />It was voted that Mr. Seaman be Chairman, Pro tem. <br />In this connection Mr. Tenney informed the Board that <br />Mr. Duffy is framing up a plan such as is used in Waltham under <br />their town managâ–şr system and that such sketch would probably <br />be ready by next Tuesday evening. This would give ideas as to <br />organization and operating of departments. ' <br />In view of the fact that no reorganization could immediately <br />take place it was decided to request Dr. Wm. L. Barnes to continue <br />as health officer until further notice. <br />It was also decided to request Robert L. Ryder to continue <br />as Town Counsel at the salary of $500 per year until further <br />notice. <br />The Board appointed the following April 19th Committee: <br />Capt. William F. Young Edwin B. Worthen <br />Irving B. Pierce Christopher S. Ryan <br />Alfred Pierce. <br />The gasoline application of Anselm Mullen of 53 Maes. Ave. <br />was again taken under consideration. <br />Calvin W. Childs, owner of garage near the Mullen property, <br />was notified by telephone about the application under consider- <br />ation, He requested that the same be held up until he had made <br />inquiries about the same. <br />No action was therefor taken on said application. <br />In regard to authorizing the purchase of a Monroe calcu- <br />lator for the Engineering department, Mr. Scamman agreed to , <br />ascertain whether or not Mr. Duffy figured for a sufficient appro- <br />priation to cover purchasing said machine. <br />0 <br />
